This is another example why I, and a growing number of people (citation
needed), don't turn to Wikipedia for information (NPOV).  You never know
what is going to be written at any given time.   And, it's far too easy for
one person with an agenda and too much time on their hands to keep messing
with an article to the point where many people get caught up in trying to
correct it.  
 
To me Wikipedia is like some arcane religion full of obscure terms, esoteric
texts and a blind obedience to the rules.  Some of the discussion pages, and
the one for Vlog is a perfect example (weasel words), remind me of the
arguments about how many angels dance on the head of a pin.  Well, they
don't really remind me.  I wasn't there; I'm not that old!  Anyways, I have
this image of crotchety old men pointing their gnarled fingers at dusty old
books while arguing about whether or not the Fifth Book of Obfuscation
requires a period (full stop for you British blokes) to fall inside or
outside of a closing quote.
 
All the best,
